I agree with Senhor Bernado Colasco about the need to educate Anglos about Goa and debunk the misleading articles and books written by them. We have Anglo-Australians who visit Goa for a month but reckon they know all about that sorrowing land -- this without carrying out any indepth research. After such a short stay in Goa, they pose as experts and write a load of bull. Even if some of us detest Portugal , we must give the devil his due: Portugal has devoted a lot of resources to study Goan History. A visit to the National Musuem @ Lisboa will confirm the extensive and intensive study made there re: Goa. Even after being hounded out, the Portuguese are continuing to explore all aspects of Goanity:- culture, socioeconomic structure, political identity, etc. As for Indian scholars, they distort the history of our land. Much of what these pseudosocialscientists write is really social engineering to brainwash and "re-educate" our children and youth. Children @ schools in Goa attend regular (even daily) assemblies and cultural clinics where they are programmed to salute the flag of the invaders, shout "JAI HIND!" and sing 'Jana Gana Mana'. The methods the Indian Occupiers use are similar to those used by the Indonesian invaders before they were driven out by the East Timor. Timor Leste today is a poverty-striken State with a population of only one million but the Timorese prefer freedom to bowing to foreigners and kissing their bloody feet. . Imperialism today is no longer just White but of all hues:- Yellow Imperialism in Tibet, Black Imperialism in Nigeria and Brown Imperialism in Goa, Jammu, Kashmir, Nepal, Bhutan, etc. Nobody's hands are clean. Unless Goans unite and stand for their rights, Goa will continue to be an unhappy land like Iraq, West Papua, etc. Martinho MESSAGE From : "Bernado Colaco" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 2:31 PM Subject: Re: [Goanet] Goan migration > Dear Gentleman, > > Congratulations on your post.
